STRUCTURAL CONNECTION.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 20, 1914.

Application filed February 3, 1913. Serial No. 745,784.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHESTER F. GAILoR, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of Hartford, in the countyof Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Structural Connections, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to novel means for permanently securing togethermetal members.

The drawing shows diagrammatically how the inventionmay be practised.

In the drawing a, 1), denote pieces of structural metal adapted to bepermanently secured together, 0 denotes a fastener passing throughsaidmembers, d a. head on the fastener at one end and e a head on thefastener at the other end which may or may not be removable from thefastener and take the form of a nut.

My invention consists in Welding either or both of the heads of thefastener to a contacting surface, and in the case where one head of thefastener is removable one of the contacting surfaces to which it may bewelded is the surface of the fastener and another contacting surface towhich it may be welded is the surface of one of the members a or I),against which it happens to lie when in position.

I claim as my invention:

A structural iron work connection comprising a pair of lapped metalmembers having registering openings therein, a headed metal bolt passedthrough said openings and having its head engaging theadjacent metalmember and cohesively united thereto by welding at the exposedcontacting faces, a nut mounted on the other end of the bolt andengaging its adjacent metal member and cohesively united to the saidmetal member and bolt by welding at the exposed contacting faces alone.
